The Bliss of Ms. Blossom

Snow really makes me aware of the depth of the air around me. When I was driving in it earlier, I kept on getting distracted by the way it seems to hang in the air and flesh it out. Especially when, later, the streetlamps came on and I could see beams of snow in the darkness. It was really beautiful snow, too. Huge flakes that actually do "stay on your nose and eyelashes" (I really do love the Sound of Music for all it's corniness, except for the part about the one girl who is "going on 16" and has to depend on Rolfe the Nazi-Bastard). Furthermore, I'm going to take snow today as a really good sign (not that I necessarily feel one way or the other about "signs," but I watch for them out of habit). Maybe I'm somewhere snowy next year? As long as I don't dress like the crazy person I am, I could take the cold weather. And maybe my footprints will be warm.
